Hi akshu,

                    at the pbe level 200Ry and PAO.Energyshift = 0.01 I got 
that the total energy is -9270.2682, which corresponds to Ebind = 6.7 eV/C

Best Regards,

                            Pablo

  Subject: [SIESTA-L] incorrect value of binding energy


        I am trying to calculate the binding energy of a C60 molecule using 
siesta but the result obtained(4.4 ev) is quite less as compared to the 
experimental value (7.1 ev). Which parameters need to be changed to get more 
accurate results. I have used GGA potential from siesta database, DZP basis 
with energy shift 100mev,  mesh cutoff 200 Ry
